Big storm passing through with phemonenal rain
Thundery showers here. 2nd one of today.
Rain was monsoonal and gusty with it
More overhead lightning now. What a convective day this is turning into! 🌩
Is the thunder activity for your area above average for this summer, plus May, so far, or is it the same? (I'm new for central/northern England).Lowestoft (where I came) seem to have missed out on many storms from the land this summer so far. The number of storms in Sheffield since May 2021 has been similar to Lowestoft in a typical unsettled Summer (like that of 2012).

Below. Only today has seen anything particularly thundery since last August. There's been the odd day here and there with a thundery shower, but they've more or less been "one rumble wonders" this summer.
Manchester can get some decent storms. I have recorded a few over the last 7-8 years, but we don't get anything like what the usual areas get.

Looks like the Bolton/Horwich and the Stockport areas are getting a bit of a belting now. Been a great day for Greater Manchester!
Looks like it's all circulating around Lincoln - so we are missing out on everything in the "eye of the storm" ! Grrrr!

Everything taken together, here in Lincolnshire are more good things than man could have had the conscience to ask.
